Essentially photography is as much about the equipment as it is about the man holding it. Now until and unless you want to get into the pro mode right from the onset, buying a regular camera, say a decent digital camera, would serve the purpose. The main idea behind any good photograph is getting the right frame in right amount of light through the right equipment. Now if you are not sure of the first two in terms of your skills, buying a digital camera makes more sense. This should not be difficult either since there is no shortage of options in terms of digital cameras in India.
While buying digital cameras in India, look for cameras that come with sturdy built and dust proof casing. You dont want the camera sensor to be spoiled by the soil and grime present all over. Secondary look at the optical zoom function and how clear the pictures come when zoomed in. Prefer going for higher optical zoom as opposed to digital zoom.
While shopping for digital cameras in India, factor in the warranty as well. Prefer digital cameras that offer 2 years or more of warranty. Do read what that warranty covers.
Another important thing is what you would look to shoot the most. Each photographer picks equipments depending on what his/her preferred shooting subject is. If you are looking to shoot macro photographs, you would have to look for cameras that come with that function and deliver as well. Many a times, you would come across cameras that offer a particular function but lack big time in delivering to your expectations.
In the end, read reviews of the camera model you have selected and try to get some hands-on too. This ways you can easily know what exactly you can expect from the digital camera you are buying.
